Counting words
With WordPerfect, you can find out how many words are in a document or in selected text. You can also verify the number of pages, paragraphs, sentences, and lines that are in the document. In addition, you have the ability to exclude various elements, such as headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, or comments, from the word count.

The <Count button> appears on the Application bar, making word count functionality easier to access than ever before.
